In the wake of being swept in the first round by the Heat, the Milwaukee Bucks said the greater disappointment was settling for the No. 8 Eastern Conference seed. "We basically dog-trotted down the stretch for March and April," forward Mike Dunleavy Jr. told the Journal-Sentinel. "We should have never been in the position of having to play the one-seed. Kind of shame on us. That's the disappointing part of the whole season." Said teammate Ersan Ilyasova, "We secured that [playoff] spot and everybody started thinking about what we were going to do in the playoffs."
